🌟 Progression Coach – Supporting Young People Across County Durham

Contract: 3 months initially (possibility of extension)
Hours: 37 hours per week
Location: County Durham (travel required across the area)

Do you have a passion for supporting young people to achieve their potential?

We’re looking for a motivated and empathetic Progression Coach to join our Education and Skills team, working with young people aged 16–24 who are Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) — helping them explore their options and move forward into education, training, or work.

🔑 What you’ll do

• Manage a caseload of young people aged 16–24 who are NEET or at risk of becoming NEET.
• Provide one-to-one and group support to raise aspirations, build confidence, and remove barriers to progression.
• Work collaboratively with schools, colleges, training providers, employers, and local agencies.
• Deliver practical advice and guidance — including employability skills, applications, and interview preparation.
• Maintain accurate records of progress and outcomes.

🎯 About you You’ll be someone who is approachable, organised, and passionate about helping young people succeed. You will have:

• A Level 2 qualification in Information, Advice and Guidance, Youth Work, or a related subject.
• Experience working with vulnerable or NEET young people.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• The ability to travel throughout County Durham to meet young people and attend meetings.

A Level 3 qualification in Information, Advice and Guidance and experience of partnership working with education or employment providers would be an advantage.

💡 Why join us? This is a rewarding role where every day you’ll make a real difference in young people’s lives — supporting them to gain confidence, develop skills, and take their next steps into education, training, or employment.
